I wouldn't treat a male any differently. It's low class. I don't recall any major CEO's on the front page of tech sites cussing before this. Ever. It shows a poor lack of control. What is said behind doors, not to the press, is something else entirely. That's not even touching on the professionalism of publicly calling out a previous employer. Talk about burning bridges and ruining a reputation.

Talk about burning bridges and ruining a reputation.

Burning bridges isn't always a bad thing. And sometimes doing so enhances your reputation, rather than ruining it.

I'm betting a whole lot of people have more respect for Carol Bartz today, than they had yesterday, exactly because she spoke her mind, and showed some emotion and cut through the "PC" crap. At the very least, I know I do.

Joe Biden: It's a big fucking deal.

You probably should have chosen somebody who wasn't a complete douche bag to make your example. Joe Biden cussing like that makes him look like a complete fool. I am all for cussing when situation is right, but this (and Biden's mockery) is just vulgar for the sake of being vulgar. There is a time and a place for vulgarity, press releases is not one of them. It just makes you look foolish, easily manipulated emotionally, and unprofessional in my eyes.
